Reply: Virgin Queen:: Rules:: Re: Response Cards in General as events

by Ed Beach

This is a nice list:

11. Dragut Falls (second option).
13. Reiters
15. Storms (second option)
16. Sultan's Harem (first option, Ottoman only)
41. Border Reivers (first option if you and opponent both control at least one of the spaces listed and second option if England, France or Prot)
43. Experienced pilot
45. Scurvy (second option)
58. Jeanne of Navarre (first option)
89. Mary Queen of Scots (second option)
102. Sir Edward Stafford (second option)

As has been noted, this is a much longer list than was in HIS. In HIS it wasn't hard to mark the few response cards that made any sense to play as regular events (since it was only Wartburg, Landsknects and Swiss Mercs).

In VQ, that was made explicit for these cards:

16. Sultan's Harem (first option, Ottoman only)
58. Jeanne of Navarre (first option)
89. Mary Queen of Scots (second option)
102. Sir Edward Stafford (second option)

So it looks like I need to rule on these 6 cards:

11. Dragut Falls (second option).
13. Reiters
15. Storms (second option)
41. Border Reivers (first option if you and opponent both control at least one of the spaces listed and second option if England, France or Prot)
43. Experienced pilot
45. Scurvy (second option)

I've already established the precedent that for 7 other Response Cards (3 from HIS and 4 here in VQ) that they can be played as events during your impulse if the effect "works" as an event. So to be consistent we should also have that be true for these 6 as well. I'll make sure to note this in the next version of the FAQ document.
